--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | Em Em/D | D/C C | D D7 | G | [Verse 1]
  G
A water glass full of whiskey

C             D     D7       G
 Women that I never knew too well

G
 Lord, the things I've seen and done

C                D    D7        G
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell

  G
I don't know how it started

    C                   D     D7     G
But that's what makes a man a man, I guess

        G
Now I'm holdin' on to nothing'

C        D             G
  Tryin' to forget the rest
[Chorus]
D                       G
 I'm lookin' back on my life

   D                     G
To see if I can find the pieces

  D
I know that some were stolen

        G     G7/B  C
And some just blew away

D
 Well, I found the bad parts

G              C
 Found all the sad parts

      G                 D         [ Em ]
But I guess I threw the best part away

| Em     Em/D | D/C C | D    D7 |
            All away,  away
[Verse 2]
G
Playing the bars, playing like a star

C    D              G
  Anything to get a name

G
Carryin' on, livin' on songs

C            D               G
  My friends wrote for me to sing
[Chorus]
D                       G
 I'm lookin' back on my life

   D                     G
To see if I can find the pieces

  D
I know that some were stolen

        G     G7/B  C
And some just blew away

D
 Well, I found the bad parts

G              C
 Found all the sad parts

      G                 D         [ Em ]
But I guess I threw the best part away

| Em     Em/D | D/C C | D    D7 | G |
            All away,  away
[Outro]
Em                     |  D/C  C  |
  Lord, the pieces of my life,

        D                   G
They're everywhere, they're everywhere

        Em                   D/C          C
And the one, I think, I miss most of all

   D  D7            G
Is you and you know who

Em                   D/C   C
  Looking back on my life, Lord

D                      G
 See if I can find the pieces

Em                   D/C    C
  Looking back on my life today

D                D7       G
 To see if I can find the pieces

Em                   D/C C
  Looking back on my li- ife

D             D7       G
 God, help me find the pieces
